Nice

I agree with Ani, it's very traditional and regal. But somehow not princessy. Excellent name.
However I dislike the usual pronunciation in my accent (Anna STAY zha). It reminds me too much of anesthesia. I want it to be Ah-na-STAH-sya, like in Spanish, say. So it's middle name material to me.

I love it, it’s long, dramatic, strong, regal, gorgeous…the list goes on. Tons of nickname potential too, though I prefer just Anastasia (which I know is a bit unrealistic).

I’ve loved this name ever since I was a kid because of the animated movie. For a while, it was kinda tainted for me because of the “Fifty Shades” movies, but it’s too beautiful of a name to be permanently ruined by an awful series of books/movies and eventually I started loving it again. Whenever I hear this name now, my first thought is of the princess.

I used to like it more. I think the association with Fifty Shades of Gray may have tainted it just a little for me.

Beautiful. I wouldn't use it personally. I might use it as a middle name.

I used to like it, but now I'm neutral about it. I can't decide if I like Anastasia or Anastacia more.

I really like it, it's getting a little too popular in my region for my liking but it's still really pretty. I consider using it as a middle name.
